Default what size ET Street to run?

i am wondering what size Et Street to run on my truck. i am going to be using them on stock rims and dont forget that i am lowered 6" in the rear. i do have the fenders cut for tire clearance though. i also am running a 3.90 gear. i need some opinions on what i should go with, thanks

Brandon, you should look at the same ones that I am thinking about. They are the M&H Dragmasters. They have both slicks and Drag Radials. I am looking at the radials. I think they are made by interco tire co. I'll try and post a link here.

Many people are getting good results with the 26x11.5x16.

Thats the link for the M&H's Brandon. Yeah, I think thats my thing more than anything Kevin. Everytime I do a burnout on my street tires I just cringe. lol. I'm sure they will definitely help with the 3.90's though.

Is this weight with the aluminum wheels or the steel ones? I was hoping they were lighter with the LS aluminum wheels.
